How are you going to engage with residents?

While Lambeth has to tackle the housing crisis head on for future generations of Lambeth residents it also has to do its best for its current residents. No one at Lambeth underestimates the uncertainty, distress and dislocation that regeneration may cause, and we will do all that we can to mitigate this.

Our goal when engaging with current Lambeth residents is to ensure that we will:

Keep uncertainty for residents to a minimum

Residents to have an understanding of the bigger picture why Lambeth is proposing changes to their homes and communities

Residents to have their voices heard by the decision makers

Residents to have the information and support that will allow them to make the best choices about their households' futures

And that Lambeth will do this by providing to residents:

Clear information on how the whole engagement process will work throughout the life of the project

An explanation to residents how specific parts of the engagement processes fit together

Information on who is making decisions when they are doing this and on what basis they will be making that decision

Information, so they can understand on what we are engaging them on and what we are not

A clear view to residents how engagement can influence the outcome

Communications about the regeneration process are clearly labelled as such

Timely feedback on questions to residents

In addition, we want all residents of a regenerated estate to benefit from better homes and an improved neighbourhood. And we want them to be involved in the design of the new estates and their own homes.
